Ingredients

Candied pecans:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup raw pecans

Maple-balsamic dressing:

1 small shallot, finely diced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons maple syrup
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 head endive, separated leaves
2 hearts frisee, hand torn
1 large radicchio, torn leaves
1 red pear, sliced
1/4 cup shaved Parmesan

Directions

To make the candied pecans, set a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the butter and sugar and once it has melted toss in the pecans and continue to toss to coat and cook evenly, about 1 minute. Transfer to a sheet tray lined with waxed paper (use 2 forks to separate pecans) while you prepare the salad.

Make the dressing by combining the chopped shallot, Dijon and balsamic vinegar in a large mixing bowl. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while you whisk to emulsify. Add the maple syrup and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Assemble salad by tossing greens and pear slices in a large mixing bowl with maple-balsamic dressing. Top with shaved Parmesan and candied pecans.

Perfect Fall Salad!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I tried this for the first time tonight, and my whole family and I were blown away by it... I used bagged greens instead of... getting the different types of lettuce- to save a bit of time, even though it doesn't take much time to make it! The dressing was wonderful, and the pears, pecans, and parm cheese complimented each other perfectly- way to go, Tyler!! :-)Read more

You have to try!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Every bite was a different flavor that combined so well. I made a few changes and added Craisins cranberries and substituted... green apples for the pears. I also added walnuts but did not candy them since the sweet cranberries added enough sugar. I excluded the shallots and the dressing was wonderful. Beautiful color and taste. I can't wait to make this at my next holiday gathering. Thanks TylerRead more

Amazing!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for my book club, and before dinner was over, I was asked for the recipe. Did not change anything except used a... packaged spring mix lettuce instead of buying all that lettuce, it saved a lot of time. I will be saving this and using it again in the future, loved loved loved!Read more

Made this salad for company several times and without exception everyone raved about it and requested the recipe. My... daughter in law made it for Christmas Eve and it was the first bowl emptied. Maple syrup in it just put it over the top.Read more
